Eagle Rock Reservation

Overview

Eagle Rock Reservation is 408 acres of hills, streams, and valleys located on the border between West Orange and Montclair, New Jersey. Though located in the middle of the most densely populated county in the most densely populated state in the country, the Reservation is mostly undeveloped and boasts an extensive trail system within its borders. The Reservation is also the site of the Essex County 9/11 Memorial.
Eagle Rock Reservation was designed in the late 1800's by, among others, the Olmsted Brothers, the same firm that designed Central Park in Manhattan and Branch Brook Park in Newark. Besides rustic beauty, the Reservation enjoys an unrivaled view of the New York City skyline from the George Washington Bridge to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
